In the book The Bible, Science and Creation, authors Maxwell and Coder contend, “The Bible is the only ancient book that is accurate in all scientific details. Other ancient holy books from the East include legends and errors too childish for consideration.”For instance, Plato thought the world to be a living soul – a vast, visible animal – and earthquakes resulted when the creature shook itself. The Greeks believed that a giant, Atlas, stood astride the earth and held the broad heavens with his head and arms. The Egyptians taught that a sun-god was born on a flower or from an egg on the ocean, and this sun-god had four children who were instrumental in governing the earth. Remarkably then, we read that Moses was “learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians” (vs. 22), but thank God, he was kept from this fanciful account of creation, as the clear, simple and splendid account in Genesis shows.There is no reasonable explanation for the accuracy of the Bible on matters of science, but that the Book was given directly by God. It is amazingly free from the superstitious, mythological, childish accounts of all other ancient religious books. In a day when most people taught that the earth was flat, the Bible stated (Isa. 40:22) that God “[sits] upon the circle (sphere) of the earth.” Job cried out that “He…hangeth the earth upon nothing (Job 26:7), accurately describing the poising of our globe in space – a statement which has stood for 3,500 years. Jesus’ statement in Luke 17:34-36 strongly intimates that it will be simultaneously night, morning and midday at His coming, a clear reference to the rotundity and revolution of the earth, since His coming is elsewhere pictured being instantaneous everywhere – “in a moment in the twinkling of an eye” (1 Cor. 15:52). Again, we concur that God’s Book is true.
